Sometimes Jansyn just says the sweetest, cutest things. Last December we went to St. George. We went to explore caves as a family. As Jansyn and I were walking down the path hand in hand, a little voice began the following conversation:
Jansyn: Mamma?
Me: yes?
Jansyn: You are a nice mamma
Me: Thank you Jansyn. You are a nice daughter. I am glad Heavenly Father sent you to me.
Ever since then she wants to be called my daughter, not my kid.
Last month we went to an outdoor fair. As we were leaving, we had the regular struggle of getting the girls to get in the car in a timely manner and get buckled. Mike's remedy for this? to pretend he is leaving me. The following conversation followed (please note, this had been a horrible day for me - one of those days when you feel like you are failing miserably at being a mother)
Mike: Hurry or mom won't have time to get in the car and we will leave without her
Jansyn: Dad! You can't leave mom.
Me: It's ok, you don't need me.
Jansyn: Yes we do! We all need you!
Me: What do you need me for?
Jansyn: (In a very serious voice) We need you for everything mom! Heavenly Father made you for us.
Such a sweet and tender moment.... sometimes kids say the most wonderful thing!
